I started thinking this morning that I have a /usr/share/groff/1.20.1/tmac/troffrc file that I added some macros to years ago, and removing my troffrc changes fixes the problem, so I think we can close the bug report. I am right now trying to figure out exactly what it is in my troffrc that are causing this, but the bug is certainly mine.
